    About this ebook

    Desire is a passion. It might be why ghosts stay around. Some desires could be love, or even murder. When Rachel, records an EVP from a little girl asking for help, it ignites her desire to put an end to a serial killer, even if he is dead.

    A killer roams the farmland surrounding the rural community of Franklin Furnace, Missouri. Not a typical nameless or faceless killer, but a man by the name of Homer Elwood, and infamously known as the Chocolate Man.

    Captured, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to life in a mental hospital, would seem to be all it would take to stop him—it wasn’t.

    He escaped and disappeared. Some think he died in a winter blizzard, other people think the local vigilantes got to him, still others think he just got better at his craft.

    Rachel Law, and her team of paranormal investigators think he is dead, but returned for unfinished work. In the paranormal realm, we hear of ghosts who can’t move on because of unfinished business. Normally that involves loved ones, not returning to continue a reign of terror and murder.

    When Rachel captures the EVP of a little girl crying and asking for help, there is no turning back.

    With her team of three life-long friends, who call themselves the Paranormal Investigation Service Team Of Franklin Furnace (PIST OFF), they launch an investigation into the mystery known as the Chocolate Man that will take them over the edge of the unknown

    Orville Burch

    Orville Burch has dedicated his entire life to peeling back the curtains on the windows of the unknown. Growing up on a rural farm surrounded by forests and streams prepared him for a career in natural science. He earned a PhD in biology, while exploring the natural relationships of community structure. With roots in the tri-racial Melungeon people of the Appalachians, his interests in their life lead him to study with Native American elders and to travel and interact with several African-tribes. This resulted in the development of Warrior-Theme self-help based on ancient wisdom applied to the modern times: I Warrior. His interest in the unknown took him on adventures hunting cryptids, ghosts, and UFOs. He now writes paranormal fiction. He is the author of twenty-five peer-reviewed scientific articles, paranormal fiction, and self-help nonfiction. He currently lives in Pennsylvania where he writes, researches, and investigates the paranormal.
